Quote:The great ones do a whole lot more than "fake" wrestle. Actually they all do but the greats are great performers. A lot are great athletes. There really is a lot more to it than "faking" things.

 

I don't think anyone knowledgeable about professional wrestling would claim that many of the participants aren't talented athletes and performers, but every match is scripted, every outcome predetermined, every wrestling move discussed in advance so risk of injury is minimized. It's not a sporting event, it's just entertainment disguised as sport.

 

These guys and gals should be eligible for something like a Golden Globe or Oscar.
